After going to a few dealerships I wasn't finding the right car for me. So after almost giving up I decided to give San Diego Auto Finder a shot. Brandon greeted me right away and directed me to what I was looking for. I got the best deal for my budget. Brandon was super easy going and made the process completely painless. Daniel was also an amazing help and very thorough. Brandon has been the best car salesman I've ever encountered, super cool dude.

I would be this great team here a 10 stars if I could. Tony and the rest of the team were extremely nice and professional. They helped me to get the car I wanted, as I am building up my credit up, and I was trying to get an 2020 Toyota Tacoma, they made it happened! Thank you guys for all, and definitely can recommend this car dealer to any friend, family or anyone reading this review. This is the place to go and get the car you always dreamt about. Thank you AutoFinder!

I went there to purchase a Tesla they were very condescending dishonest and gave me a false credit score rating I call them and gave them the correct information to change it and they lied and said they would called me but never called me after several attempts to straighten out this discrepancy it seems that they have a biased towards Black people.

This is a really good place if you want to buy cars. Tony was really helpful and straight to the point. They were accommodating and not forcing you to buy the car like most places do. Even though the banks were almost closing that time they still didn't make us feel that we had to rush. Everything was smooth and fast with no extra or hidden charges and fees. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you Tony.

Can't say enough good things about San Diego Auto Finder and the guys over there. There was a tire pressure warning light on my car when I purchased it but the company was willing to help me get it fixed. Eventually it ended up being an issue with the wiring which they paid the $1400 to fix at the dealership. Dealing with a used car dealership, you don't always know what kind of service you're going to get. The service I received at SDAF was better than I had received at any other dealership previously.

No pressure environment and easy shopping because you can view online before actually going in-person. This is our 2nd vehicle we've purchased from them. I recommend them!
